Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.
Is there a way to identify in my application that the device is not hacked as it is important for me to know if the user has paid for the application or downloaded it free of charge.

There are several threads on anti-piracy measures in the Tutorials section by Shmoopi. But remember, just because a device is hacked (jailbroken) that does not mean your app is not paid for. What are you going to do about people that have jailbroken there phone to get some other feature that is not available on the Apple version, but then they buy your app? Are you sure you want to make them angry by telling them that the app that they just paid for will not run for them?
I guess my wording was a little off. To protect an app from being cracked (show a message, crash it, log a UDID), you have to detect that it's cracked to begin with.
As I said in my last post, if someone wants to get around this detection / protection, they will.

What I would like to know is, what do people here use to track hacked apps? How do they get their information? And is it a free service?
And, people usually don't run apps while their device is connected to the Internet...
Unless your on an iPod or non 3G iPad that is probably a horribly false statement. As for what people use there are tons of tools, and almost none of them are free that I have found. Is you app in the app store? What is it called?
I don't think so. I didn't say are never connected. They don't have to be always connected.
But, as I was saying, if a device isn't connected to the Internet, nothing will get sent. So, I would like to know if these analytics tools store data for later on, when there is a connection?
To start, you said "usually" which would mean 50% or more of the time the user is not connected.
Many of them do store data but it all depends on the code, if the data is never written to the disk it would be removed upon the app being terminated from the background as long as the user stays disconnected. If the data is written to the disk it is likely retained until a connection can be made.
You never answered my previous questions, do you have any apps in the app store? What are they called? Piracy is not normally a problem unless you are developing a game. None of my apps had been pirated even after 1 year in the app store, until I put out a second game.
